  • a decorative panel like a floor panel, has on one side of the core layer a decorative layer and a balancing layer on the other side of the core layer.
  • a decorative layer may be applied on both sides of the core layer. The latter is especially desirable in the case of laminate panels for furniture.
  • a protective layer is applied on both decorative layers present on both sides of the core layer.
  • a multi-colour image is obtained by jetting and drying aqueous inkjet inks of an aqueous inkjet ink set upon the one or more ink receiving layers.
  • the colour image may also contain information such as text, arrows, logo's and the like.
  • the advantage of inkjet printing is that such information can be printed at low volume without extra cost, contrary to gravure printing.
  • the colour image is a wood reproduction or a stone reproduction, but it may also be a fantasy or creative image, such as an ancient world map or a geometrical pattern, or even a single colour for making, for example, a floor consisting of black and yellow tiles or a single colour furniture door.
  • An advantage of printing a stone colour image is that a floor can be manufactured which is an exact imitation of a stone floor, but without the cold feeling when walking barefooted on it.
  • a protective layer is applied above the printed colour image after printing, e.g. by way of an overlay, i.e. a resin provided carrier, or a liquid coating, preferably while the decor layer is laying on the core layer, either loosely or already connected or adhered thereto.
  • an overlay i.e. a resin provided carrier, or a liquid coating
  • the carrier of the overlay is a paper impregnated by a thermosetting resin that becomes transparent or translucent after heat pressing, preferably in a DPL process.
  • the liquid coating includes preferably a thermosetting resin, but may also be another type of liquid such as a UV- or an EB-curable varnish.
  • the protective layer is preferably the outermost layer, but in another embodiment a thermoplastic or elastomeric surface layer may be coated on the protective layer, preferably of pure thermoplastic or elastomeric material. In the latter case, preferably a thermoplastic or elastomeric material based layer is also applied on the other side of the core layer.
  • Liquid melamine coatings are exemplified in DE 19725289 C (ITT MFG ENTERPRISES) and US 3173804 (RENKL PAIDIWERK).
  • the liquid coating may contain hard particles, preferably transparent hard particles.
  • Suitable liquid coatings for wear protection containing hard particles and methods for manufacturing such a protective layer are disclosed by US 2011300372 (CT FOR ABRASIVES AND REFRACTORIES) and US 8410209 (CT FOR ABRASIVES AND REFRACTORIES).
  • the total quantity of hard particles and transparent solid material particles is typically between 5% by volume and 70% by volume, based on the total volume of the liquid coating.
  • the total quantity of hard particles is between 1 g/m 2 and 100 g/m 2 , preferably 2 g/m 2 to 50 g/m 2 .
  • the amount of hard particles in the protective layer may be determined in function of the desired wear resistance, preferably by a so-called Taber test as defined in EN 13329 and also disclosed in WO 2013/050910 A (UNILIN) and US 8410209 (CT FOR ABRASIVES AND REFRACTOR).
  • the step of providing the protective layer of thermosetting resin above the printed image involves a press treatment.
  • a temperature above 150°C is applied in the press treatment, more preferably between 180° and 220°C, and a pressure of more than 20 bar, more preferably between 35 and 40 bar.
  • An alternative advantage of using at least two press treatments lays in the fact that a similar wearing rate, as in the case where a single press treatment is used, can be obtained with less hard particles if the product is pressed twice. Lowering the amount of hard particles is interesting, since hard particles tend to lower the transparency of the wear resistant protective layer, which is undesirable. It becomes also possible to work with hard particles of smaller diameter, e.g. particles having an average particle diameter of 15 ⁇ m or less, or even of 5 ⁇ m or less.
  • the main purpose of the balancing layer(s) is to compensate tensile forces by layers on the opposite side of the core layer, so that an essentially flat decorative panel is obtained.
  • a balancing layer is preferably a thermosetting resin layer, that can comprise one or more carrier layers, such as paper sheets.
  • the balancing layer(s) may be a decorative layer, optionally complemented by a protective layer.
  • an opaque balancing layer may be used which gives the decorative panel a more appealing look by masking surface irregularities. Additionally, it may contain text or graphical information such as a company logo or text information.
  • An inkjet printing method for manufacturing decorative panels comprising the steps of a) providing a paper substrate including one or more ink receiving layers; b) jetting a colour image with pigmented aqueous inkjet inks from the pigmented aqueous inkjet ink set as described above on the paper substrate including one or more ink receiving layers; and c) drying the jetted colour image.
  • the application of ink receiving layers on the paper substrate allow to achieve a desired image quality without the need of a polymer latex binder in the aqueous inkjet inks.
  • the presence of polymer latex binder usually reduces the adhesion of the protective layer to the decorative layer.
  • no polymer latex binder is present in one or more of the aqueous pigmented inkjet inks, preferably none of the pigmented aqueous inkjet inks contain a polymeric latex binder.
  • the inkjet printing method is preferably performed in a multi-pass mode.
  • the jetting of the colour image by the inkjet print heads is performed in 2, 3, 4 or more passes, the presence of failing nozzles can be masked to a level wherein it becomes no longer visible that a nozzle is not firing inkjet ink. The latter is usually immediately visible in a single pass inkjet printing process, thus creating substantial amount of waste and economic penalties.
  • the paper substrate includes multiple ink receiving layers, wherein an outermost ink receiving layer contains no inorganic pigment or an amount of inorganic pigment smaller than that of the one or more ink receiving layers located between the paper substrate and the outermost ink receiving layer.
  • the ink receiving layers contain high amounts of inorganic pigments, such as microporous silica, which can create dust problems due to the transporting of the paper substrate in the inkjet printer, especially in a single pass inkjet printing pass where very high speeds for transporting the paper substrate below the print heads are used. This dust problem is reduced by having an outermost ink receiving layer containing no or only a small amount of inorganic pigments.
  • the paper substrate is a coloured paper substrate, more preferably a bulk coloured paper substrate.
  • a coloured paper substrate reduces the amount of inkjet ink required to form the colour image.
  • the one or more ink receiving layers include an inorganic pigment selected from the group consisting of alumina hydrates, aluminum oxides, aluminum hydroxides, aluminum silicates, and silicas.
  • an inorganic pigment selected from the group consisting of alumina hydrates, aluminum oxides, aluminum hydroxides, aluminum silicates, and silicas. The latter inorganic pigments allow for fast drying and high image quality.
  • the one or more ink receiving layers contain a polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of polyvinylalcohol, a vinylalcohol copolymer or modified polyvinyl alcohol.
  • a polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of polyvinylalcohol, a vinylalcohol copolymer or modified polyvinyl alcohol.
  • the latter polymeric binders are very hydrophilic and allow fast penetration of the liquids in the aqueous inkjet inks, again enhancing drying and high image quality.
  • the viscosity of the one or more aqueous inkjet inks at a temperature of 32°C is preferably smaller than 15 mPa.s, and most preferably between 4 and 8 mPa.s all at a shear rate of 1,000 s -1 .
  • the jetting temperature is between 10 and 70°C, preferably between 20 and 40°C, and most preferably between 25 and 38°C. In those ranges printing reliability is enhanced due to improved latency, as the evaporation of the liquid components in the inkjet inks at the nozzle of a print head is limited.
  • the paper substrate having the jetted and dried colour image is impregnated with a thermosetting resin.
  • the impregnated paper substrate is heat pressed between a core layer and a protective layer and cut into a decorative panel selected from the group consisting of flooring, kitchen, furniture and wall panels.
  • the protective layer preferably includes a melamine-based thermosetting resin.
  • the decorative panel includes a tongue and a groove capable of achieving a glue less mechanical join between decorative panels.
  • the inkjet printing method of the invention is part of a DPL process, wherein the decorative layer is taken up in a stack to be pressed with the core layer and a protective layer, and preferably also a balancing layer.
  • the method of the invention would form part of a CPL (Compact Laminate) or an HPL (High Pressure Laminate) process in which the decorative layer is hot pressed at least with a plurality of resin impregnated core paper layers, e.g.
  • thermosetting resin may be a colored thermosetting resin to reduce the amount of inkjet ink to be printed.
  • the method of manufacturing a decorative surface preferably includes providing a relief in at least the protective layer, more preferably by means of a short cycle embossing press.
  • the embossing preferably takes place at the same time that the core layer, the decorative layer and the protective layer, and preferably also one or more balancing layers, are pressed together.
  • the relief in the protective layer preferably corresponds to the colour image.
  • the relief comprises portions that have been embossed over a depth of more than 0.5 mm, or even more than 1 mm, with respect to the global upper surface of the decorative panel.
  • the embossments may extend into the decorative layer.
  • the balancing layer of a decorative panel is preferably planar. However, a relief might be applied in the balancing layer(s) for improving gluing down of the panels and/or for improved slip resistance and/or for improved, i.e. diminished, sound generation or propagation.
  • any panel that comprises on the one hand a wear resistant protective layer on the basis of a thermosetting synthetic material, possibly a carrier sheet such as paper, and hard particles, and, on the other hand, one or more layers underlying the wear resistant protective layer on the basis of thermosetting synthetic material.
  • the underlying layers may comprise a decorative layer, such as an inkjet printed paper provided with thermosetting resin.
  • a core layer such panel might essentially comprise a board material with a density of more than 500 kg/m 3 , such as an MDF or HDF board material.
  • the manufacturing panels with a plurality of press treatments is preferably put in practice with the so-called DPL panels (Direct Pressure Laminate).

  • the one or more aqueous inkjet inks may be jetted by one or more print heads ejecting small droplets in a controlled manner through nozzles onto a substrate, which is moving relative to the print head(s).
  • a preferred print head for the inkjet printing system is a piezoelectric head.
  • Piezoelectric inkjet printing is based on the movement of a piezoelectric ceramic transducer when a voltage is applied thereto. The application of a voltage changes the shape of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer in the print head creating a void, which is then filled with ink. When the voltage is again removed, the ceramic expands to its original shape, ejecting a drop of ink from the print head.
  • the inkjet printing method according to the present invention is not restricted to piezoelectric inkjet printing.
  • Other inkjet print heads can be used and include various types, such as a continuous type.
  • the inkjet print head scans back and forth in a transversal direction across the moving ink-receiver surface. Sometimes the inkjet print head does not print on the way back. Bidirectional printing is preferred for obtaining a high area throughput.
  • Another preferred printing method is by a "single pass printing process", which can be performed by using page wide inkjet print heads or multiple staggered inkjet print heads which cover the entire width of the ink-receiving surface. In a single pass printing process the inkjet print heads usually remain stationary and the substrate surface is transported under the inkjet print heads.
  • a preferred drying device uses Carbon Infrared Radiation (CIR) to heat the outside of the paper substrate quickly.
  • CIR Carbon Infrared Radiation
  • NIR-radiation energy quickly enters into the depth of the inkjet ink layer and removes water and solvents out of the whole layer thickness, while conventional infrared and thermo-air energy predominantly is absorbed at the surface and slowly conducted into the ink layer, which results usually in a slower removal of water and solvents.

  • Such an infrared radiation source is sometimes called a NIR dryer.
  • the NIR radiation source is in the form of NIR LEDs, which can be mounted easily on a shuttling system of a plurality of inkjet print heads in a multi-pass inkjet printing device.

  • the inkjet inks COMP-1 and INV-1 were coated with a bar coater on an IJTP paper at a wet layer thickness of 6 ⁇ m. After coating, the ink layers were dried for 2 min at 60°C. Both coated samples were then impregnated and heat pressed in the same manner as the inkjet printed images. It was observed that the improved colour saturation of INV-1 versus COMP-1 was still present after resin impregnation and heat pressing.
